Why there is no JLo Day in Puerto Rico like Rihanna got Rihanna Day in Barbedos ? @Rican @SavagePapi She is very known but is view as not being “Rican” enough. It has to do that she isn’t a island born Rican. She has never live there. Spent the majority of her prime catering to English pop music. She only performed there once during her prime lol So yea I can understand why the Island of Puerto Rico doesn’t give J.Lo her flowers like Barbados does with Rihanna.

Some of the reasons you stated as to why PR doesn't give her her flowers is kind of strange. Also, when do you qualify as "Rican enough". Lol. To reply to two of your reasons: "Spent the majority of her prime catering to English pop music." She was raised mostly English speaking by her Puerto Rican parents and was starting to take Hollywood by storm in movies before singing. Those were all English language movies too (Selena, Blood & Wine, U-Turn, Out Of Sight) except for Mi Familia and maybe a few Spanish lines in Selena. She then entered the music scene and became part of what is now dubbed the Latin Explosion in 1999. Her first "raggedy demo" submitted to Sony was in Spanish, but the label wanted her to sing in English. However, she was still able to fight for Spanish songs on her record, as the debut album had two (No Me Ames, Una Noche Mas), while her second album had three (Dame, Carino, Si Ya Se Acabo). It's true majority of her prime was English songs because those songs became the greatest hits worldwide. Hence, she focused more in English music until she reconnected with Marc Anthony and released her first Spanish album in 2007. Would she be more respected by the people of PR if all of her songs were in Spanish? Hate to say it but she probably wouldn't be as successful in music if she hadn't. "She only performed there once during her prime lol" Actually, J.Lo never toured during her prime. Not in North America, Europe or Asia, not anywhere. This means that her first and only true concerts in her prime were the two concerts she did in Puerto Rico for the Let's Get Loud DVD. Both nights sold out at Roberto Clemente Stadium in Puerto Rico. She selected that location out of all places because of her family ties to PR. When she finally did her first (and only) world tour for Dance Again, The Greatest Hits, she also performed 2 nights at José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum. I'm just mentioning this to make the point that she didn't specifically pay PR dust but actually made it a point to perform there and even have her first concerts there! J.Lo wasn't solely a music star in her prime, she was a very popular actress pumping out a few movies each year. This prohibited her from touring anywhere really. And some other stuff.... When hurricanes Irma and Maria hit Puerto Rico, she donated $1 Million to relief efforts and went on a media tour to get attention to PR because she felt it wasn't getting enough attention. She made it a point to raise awareness and even hosted a disaster relief telethon using her connections at NBC and Univision and inviting celebrity friends like Kim Kardashian, Ciara, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Bethenny Frankel, Jamie Foxx, Heidi Klum, Bruno Mars, Demi Lovato, Ellen DeGeneres and Gwen Stefani. It helped raise another 35$ Million for Puerto Rico relief. She's always given PR her love and her shows there have been sold out, which should indicate that she's loved there enough @Yudelkis. Btw, I think you were wrong to quote @Rican in our base, who has honestly been shown to be kind of a J.Lo hater on this forum. Just cause this member is Puerto Rican and has a voice on ATRL doesn't mean they represent all the people of PR. I mean, our good sis @SavagePapi is Puerto Rican as well and loves her.

Slap Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Can we get some love for Brave in here? I keep coming back to it as one of my favorite albums of hers, although I love This is me then and JLO too obviously. Stay Together, Forever, The Way It Is - they all feel so quintessentially JLo. Also the cover art was so cool and the single artwork also matched which was a dream. What’s your fave song from Brave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay Together Forever Hold It Don’t Drop It Mile In These Shoes Brave Gotta Be There with the young MJ sample Gotta Be There was so good, I really feel like she took all the elements of her music to date pre 2007 and put it together into Brave, I’m surprised it didn’t do well although she struggled for years after that to relaunch her music career with Fresh Out the Oven, Louboutins and all that.
